Zusammenfassung
The University of Oregon conducted research for the cities of Portland, Seattle,
and Vancouver to understand how the deployment of autonomous vehicles
may impact greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Based on the range of possible
outcomes, the cities hope to better understand the policies and programmatic
choices available to mitigate negative impacts of AVs and ensure that they can
accomplish the goals stated in their climate action, land use, and transportation
plans. By working together, each city hopes to learn from each other—as well as
cities from across North America—to achieve their climate-related goals.
This report is the first of a two-phase project, both funded by the Bullitt
Foundation. The Bullitt Foundation provided a grant to CNCA/USDN and
subsequently to the Urbanism Next Center at the University of Oregon to fund
research related to the impact of AVs on the Cities of Portland, Seattle, and
Vancouver and their ability to successfully implement their climate action
plans to reduce GHG emissions. Phase II is supported by a grant directly to the
Urbanism Next Center and builds on Phase I to examine in greater detail a
limited number of strategies and actions that the Cities could incorporate into
their new mobility1 strategies.
